Chapter 24 History
The doll we thought we would never speak, another first-generation Pahu we identified in our hearts, said in a voice that we could understand: "In fact, even as the first-generation Pahu, we don't know where we are from."
After all, the three of us are not ordinary people. Although this change was a bit unexpected to our expectations and the sudden appearance of our sudden sound surprised us, we immediately woke up after the initial shock. I don’t know what they were thinking at the first time. After hearing the words of the first generation of Pahu in front of me, I immediately thought of the dead doll. When she first appeared a thousand years ago, she didn’t know where she came from. Could it be that the original Pahu, like them, came from the mysterious place in our analysis?
Facing our surprised and shocked eyes, the doll slowly said: "Yes, I am another first generation Pahu."
Although I had already confirmed that this doll was the first generation Pahu in my heart, we were still a little excited after hearing him admit it in person again. He Xiaojianqiang's reaction was the strongest. Maybe he could not have imagined that the so-called freely moving corpse that his family protected for generations was actually the first generation Pahu. He had heard from me about the experience of Gexi Village and knew that Pahu was related to the Qingshan organization. He had originally wanted to cause trouble for Qingshan. At this time, he was always calm and felt a little helpless. I didn't think he knew what he should do next.
I am the Pahu of this generation, and I already knew this at the time of Gexi Village. But at the same time, from another Pahu, I knew that I was the incarnation of the doll in front of me. But for some reason, all the memories were wiped out. So I looked at the doll and didn’t know what it was like, and I didn’t know whether to regard him as my predecessor or another self.
Yang Zijiang didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't say anything. The scene suddenly became silent. In the end, I came to my senses first, looked at the first generation Pahu, and asked, "What should I... call you?"
The doll looked at me with a smile and said, "He said nothing wrong, except one thing." I was about to ask the doll who the "he" was, so he continued: "Actually you are not my incarnation."
This surprised us very much. We originally thought that we could fully explain why the dolls are so similar to me, and why the portraits of various dynasties in Ghost Village No. 73, but suddenly I heard the person involved tell us a completely different answer. I am not his incarnation, so why am I so similar to them?
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated, and there are more and more questions to ask. I don’t know where to start for a while. At this time, Yang Zijiang, who has been silent, suddenly asked: “What is your relationship with Chu Jiangshan?”
I was shocked. Because I was too concerned about my own affairs, I asked a question that seemed somewhat irrelevant from the beginning, but in fact, the real important question should be the relationship between Pahu and Chu Jiangshan, because it is related to our life and death.
I originally thought that the doll would not tell us the answer easily, but I didn't expect that he would tell us very simply: "Strictly speaking, this question is related to what I said first. Even as the first generation of Pahu, we don't know where we came from. But I am unwilling to give up, so I have been looking for the truth of the matter for so many years. Maybe you won't understand this feeling. In the eyes of the world, we have great supernatural powers, but in addition to these, I also have an unwilling mood: loneliness."
I fully understand this emotion, because at some point, I was confused and desperate to find the mystery of my life experience. At this time, the doll continued: "I want to know who is the same as me, except for another person who is exactly the same as me. We have learned a lot of things since the date of birth. So-called birth knows it, but I don't know why I know this, nor where I came from. I only know that this place is not my home. I should have a hometown of my own, there are many people like me and relatives who belong to me. However, I don't have any memories of these, and I can only rely on my brain to imagine what they look like.
I want to teach those people all kinds of knowledge while dealing with him. I don’t know why since I came here, the person like me would come to kill me again, so that we both ended up losing both sides and had to use the means of incarnation, but he still left before me."
When the doll said this, perhaps because she was sad, she stopped talking, and the scene fell silent again. At this time, He Xiaojianqiang whispered: "Can it be a real version of "Terminator"?"
I thought to myself that this is nonsense. Although this explanation sounds reasonable, the problem is that this Pahu is the first Pahu, a character from thousands of years ago. Even if he has become a doll, he is still a monster for thousands of years. How can he know what "Terminator" is? Wouldn't it be useless to talk to him like this?
Sure enough, the doll was stunned for a moment and said, "What is "Terminator"?"
I looked at He Xiaojianqiang and thought that it was true, this problem must be left to you to solve. He Xiaojianqiang didn't expect that the doll would not know what "Terminator" is, so he was a little surprised, but he still explained it to him. The doll frowned and thought for a while, saying, "It sounds like this possibility, but why don't there be things like time shuttle in my memory?"
I thought to myself that this thing just exists in theory. Even if it does, you have said that you have no impression of where you come from. I blame He Xiaoqiang for talking too far. It doesn't matter whether Pahu comes from the future or not. What's important is that I have to ask some questions from him, not to mention that I don't believe that he comes from the future at all. There is no reason, I just don't believe it. I think he should come from the mysterious place where the Qingshan Organization retreated.
I was afraid that the doll would die of being entangled by the issue of "Terminator", so I hurriedly interrupted: "You said that you came from when you have been investigating for the past few years? Did you find anything?"
The doll looked at me, and his tone began to bring a hint of confidence, saying, "Of course I have discovered something." Seeing that our eyes began to shine, I smiled proudly and continued, "I naturally can't find where my hometown comes from, but after searching for hundreds of years without success, I changed my thinking and direction. Since I was born to know, will there be other people born to know in this world? Will they come from the same place as me? I believe in anything, no matter how seamless your plan is, as long as you do it too many times, you will definitely be discovered by someone, and then you will find some special phenomena, and thus find the final answer."
He took a deep breath and said, "I have searched for thousands of years and found countless people like me who were born to know. After continuous analysis, I finally summarized and sorted out my own gains not long ago. I found that all the clues were pointed at one person, which is what you mentioned in Chu Jiangshan."
I was startled by this sentence: "Did Chu Jiangshan live for thousands of years or even longer?"
The doll shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, but he seems to know a lot about us, and even a lot of things I don't know. In order to know the truth from his mouth, I am willing to help him do something. From this point of view, my interests and you are not in conflict with you. You don't have to worry about me reporting it, and I can even help if I need it."
I asked curiously: "Why? You must know that once you join forces with us, I'm afraid that once you turn against each other, you will be even less likely to know the answer from him."
The doll sighed, looked at me, and said, "The reason is very simple. I just feel that I am about to die, it is real death, just like him. Since that's the case, why don't I try to do things in a more direct, rough and simple way?"
I know that this "he" must refer to another Pahu who died in my mind. But I didn't know how he died for no reason. I was even more unclear about his last sentence. Of course, it would not provide any help to the doll in front of me. I originally wanted to try to let him see what was the reason. After all, the Qingshan organization's research on the human brain was beyond imagination. It might be possible to solve the mystery if the first Pahu entered my brain with an ideology. But after thinking about it, I gave up this plan. It would be a big deal if this guy wanted to take over the body. I couldn't guarantee that I had the luck to survive safely again. It just seemed that there was an inexplicable connection between the two Pahus. One died, and the other wouldn't live long.
At this moment, Yang Zijiang suddenly said: "I think, maybe I know your origin, of course, it's just a guess."
This sentence immediately surprised everyone. The doll immediately became excited and asked: "You said you!"
We all looked at Yang Zijiang and waited for him to speak. Yang Zijiang said: "In all legends, there are plots of creating humans. God created humans and Nuwa created humans. There is one thing in common in these human-created stories, that is, the first person they created is set according to their own image."
